Summary: The property was good, lovely setting and had plenty of anything we needed. Screens on some windows would have been helpful at this time of the year to cope with heat and sandflies. Bombarding bees between the car and the door were off-putting.

Summary: Excellent stay for four people. Nice to have a new oven.We liked the old stereo system and huge speakers.Our sons both thought the access to the mezzanine sleeping area at the top of ladder was a bit tight for adults, but can see the attraction for kids and teens.Great mixture of reading material incl old tramping guides, magazines. Some folding chairs which could be taken onto deck would be useful addition. Nice to read about Dik and his generous legacy.

Summary: Dik's place was our perfect bach - rustic, surrounded by bush and unique split-level architecture. It was warm and cozy at night and perfect for our family of four. We'd be back in a flash!

Summary: Came for the birdsong and stayed for the vintage stereo. Excellent spot although the fire needs to go most of the day to get the place warmed up in mid winter.

Summary: Bach located partially in bush a short distance from the lake (walking distance). Bach is two storeys with a sleeping loft area above the kitchen, accessed by a ladder. Kids loved the loft! Kitchen had all kitchen equipment for cooking. Bach was clean and comfortable, a real gem. We would definitely return again. Thank you.
